Learn a word and hear it often
Is this some sort of phenomenon? Once I hear a word, I start hearing it often. Almost like I was deaf to it before... This happens in English a lot. Learning many words in a short amount of time in Spanish the same thing happens but much more rapidly. What was neat was that Thursday or there about I learned a word and immediately they said it on TV. I expect to hear the words in Spanish but I think it's just really odd in English.

At first, when you hear a conversation in the other language, all is mumbo jumbo, but as time goes by, and you get acquainted with more vocabulary your mind starts to recognize words and starts to make connections. That's why I advocate to watch movies without subtitling. The whole method accelerate the learning process. |

The English word I heard last night was vestigial while watching The Soup. I looked it up in the dictionary and found it's meaning. After the TV show was over I got on this site and was looking at some blog posts when low and behold there was the word vestige. It's really just strange the way it happens.

The same thing happens to me, but also with cultural references. For example, when I first read the book dune: They had the bit about the gom jabbar. The very next day, I was watching billy and mandy, (A show in the United states), and there was a gom jabbar reference. I was like, "oh, Wow!"(Well, not exactly "wow", I said something else, heheheh). That happens a lot.
The more you learn culture references, the more they pop up when you're reading or just living life. |

Yes it has happened to me too.
But when I learn a new word for me or at least if the word is unknown for me, then I tend to write the word in a paper piece and well I study the word all the days, although sometimes before I learn a words that actually isn't used for the English and I had to corrected it with the new word.. Don't worry all us have the same trouble.

LotR - Lord of the Rings
It's a series of books that was recently turned into a movie. People go crazy over it. Ironically it's about a person that goes crazy over something else. |

Have you noticed, that this is applicable to other things, not only languages?
My colleague once has told me about her childhood experience. Initially the grass in the meadow was just a grass for her. When her granddad started to teach her the names of plants, it started to look different - it just exploded in her mind and she had spent hours lying in the grass and just watching. --- Se han notado antes, que lo mismo es aplicable para otras cosas, y no solo para lenguajes? Mi compañera de trabajo me había contado de su experiencia en la juventud. A principios la pradera a ella solo estaba la pradera y nada más. Cuando su abuelo la empezó a enseñar a los nombres de las hierbas, la pradera no estaba la misma. La pradera reventó en su percepción y ella ha pasado horas estando tendida en la hierba y solo miranda. |
